The Villa

Traditional Bali-style indoor/outdoor living, stylish interiors and attentive staff are the promise of Villa Shinta Dewi Ubud. This contemporary two-storey villa has been decorated with taste and attention to detail by the owners, who regularly stay: there’s everything from top-quality mattresses and linen in the bedrooms to Champagne and Martini glasses in the chef’s kitchen. The multiple living areas, four bedrooms (one converts to a media room), gym and massage room, and large pool make this perfect for up to 11 guests. The villa rests just outside a rural village five minutes from the galleries, restaurants and shops of Ubud.

Location

Villa Shinta Dewi Ubud rests on the edge of Tegallantang, a quiet village just north of Ubud. The villa looks towards a verdant wall of mature trees edging the ravine at the bottom of the garden. Life is unhurried in this peaceful rice-farming neighbourhood of Balinese families and traditional temples. Yet within a short walk are signs of more modern times – a growing number of excellent warungs (local cafés) and even a batik studio. A few kilometres south, central Ubud beckons with museums, galleries, temples, boutiques, restaurants and spas.
